What to Listen To: Favorite Podcasts
If you’re not checking podcasts for your iPod, or even just on your Mac, you’re missing out on a world of outstanding content, both audio and video.

We’ll tell you about some of the ones we subscribe to and invite you to bring in your favorites to share and add to the list.

Apple’s newest cat is out of the cage, generating interest and controversy for Mac users everywhere. What does it offer? What issues does it introduce? When should you upgrade? We’ll look at all of those issues and more in a first look at Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
As always, we’ll have our always-interesting Question and Answer Session, the traditional HAC raffle and our meeting-after-the-meeting at Fudruckers.

Each month the Hershey Apple Core donates a book to the Hershey Public Library, in appreciation for our use of their meeting space.
In October we gave the Library a copy of “The Perfect Thing: How the iPod Shuffles Commerce, Culture, and Coolness” by Steven Levy, the latest book to look at the effect of the ubiquitous iPod on everything. It should be available to check out any second now.
To take advantage of our donations, you must be a member of the Hershey Public Library. When you join, be sure to express your appreciation for their support of our group.

What to Watch: Feeding Your iPod and iPhone
No matter which video-capable iPod you have, you need to feed it. Sure, you can buy plenty of content off the iTunes Store, but what about all those DVDs you have at home? How about web video? We’ll give you some tips with with demos of VisualHub, Handbrake, QuickTime Pro and, for the TiVo owners in the crowd, TiVo Decode Manager.
